From Sweetwater:
Though a relic'd guitar finish is almost as common these days as a flawless factory finish, it the was Fender Custom Shop that pioneered the process — and know how to do it better than anyone. Fender offers different levels of finish distressing; the second most intensely distressed of which is the Relic treatment, found on Fender Custom Shop's 1952 Time Machine Relic Telecaster. It starts with a period-correct nitrocellulose lacquer finish. Nitro finishes — standard back in the day — are significantly thinner than today's polyurethane finishes, allowing the guitar to breathe and enhancing its tonal characteristics. Relic guitars are then put through the aging process to give you an axe that looks and feels like it's seen decades of action. The process creates instruments that are spitting images of the originals. Without sneaking a look at the neck heel stamps, you'd be hard-pressed to distinguish the Fender Custom Shop 1952 Time Machine Relic Tele from the real 2-piece ash body, nitrocellulose lacquer relic finish
